"The room was considerably nicer than expected. It was newly renovated and super clean. The bed was comfortable with plump pillows, the fridge clean and cold. I appreciated the room's multiple lighting options and the posh adjustable lighted bathroom mirror. While near a high-traffic intersection and 24/7 gas station, the room was quiet and the blackout panel kept outside light from the room. It was a very comfortable stay- thank you and hope to see you again soon!"

Stroll along the historic Chesapeake & Delaware Branch Canal before exploring Battery Park's scenic waterfront views. Nature lovers can hike through Fort DuPont State Park or discover the hidden gems of Dragon Run Park.
This is a very peaceful hotel that deserves its many good reviews. It isn't fancy but it has clean, comfortable rooms in a setting that is a bit removed from town (although it's close to everything) and almost has a countryside feel. I would definitely stay here again. (Kind of a nice little town too -- tucked away in a corner of NJ that most people probably don't know exists.)
